Benefits of technology

[0012]According to the disclosure, by executing all of the processing program acquisition step, the processing program analysis step, and the geometric deviation measurement step on the multi-axis processing machine, directions and positions of accurate rotation centers of the rotation axes can be calculated without adding additional equipment, and capital investment can be minimized.

Problems solved by technology

In this five-axis processing machine, due to factors such as an error that occurs during assembly, bending due to a weight of the work piece or the rotation axis itself, displacement due to heat of the rotation axis, and the like, a geometric error (a geometric deviation) occurs in positions, directions, or the like of the rotation centers of the rotation axes.
Furthermore, the number of geometric deviations between the axes increases as the number of axes increases, and processing precision of the work piece is greatly affected.
